After discovering a virus that is turning intelligent and peaceful
robots known as Reploids into rogue Mavericks, the scientist Dr. Doppler
successfully creates an antivirus to the phenomenon. The reformed
Reploids then move into Dopple Town, a place where humans and Reploids
can live together in harmony. But when an outbreak occurs causing the
Reploids to turn back into Mavericks, Maverick Hunters Mega Man X and
Zero are sent to contain the situation.

Choose either Mega Man X or Zero as you run, jump, dash, scale walls,
avoid obstacles, and fight enemies in eight challenging stages. At the
end of each stage, defeat the boss to gain a special weapon that will
aid you in the upcoming battles. Will you be the cure for this latest
outbreak?
